Weekend Express with Natasha Curry

Today is the first Sunday in eight years without a pope in the Catholic Church. On Thursday, Pope Benedict XVI officially stepped down and entered a life of seclusion- citing "his advanced age." The 85-year-old is now Pope Emeritus. He was elected in 2005 after the death of John Paul II.  The German priest made his last appearance Thursday on the balcony of the Castel Gandolfo in Italy. His resignation is the first of its kind in the church in nearly 600 years.

Now, Catholics are left asking "what's next?" With 115 cardinals eligible to vote for the next pontiff, this could be the first Sunday of many without a public mass in St. Peter's Square or pope leading the Church.
